This church is actually within the boundaries of Jordan Lake State Recreational Area, but is fortunately located on high ground, so wasn't flooded out when Jordan Lake was filling up in the late 1960's (as was much of New Hope Valley).

This remains an active congregation. The building is constructed in the Gothic Revival style popular in the late 1800's. There is a cemetery behind the church.

The community of Bells no longer exists, at least as a Post Office address. The church's official address is now listed as being in Apex.
